That's an interesting point, question. As we know, lockrings do come in (2) varieties; (11)tooth and (12)tooth.

If I'm 'forced' to buy the D-Ace 9000 cassette (can't dial in the shifting with a (10) spd cassette) I will buy the (11) spd, 11 - 25 model. Then pull out the (16) tooth cog and install it. With the (16) tooth cog removed it will be a match for the cogs found in the 7900 & 6700 (10)spd 11 - 25 cassette.

Is it possible to pull the 16 sprocket, is it not attached to a carrier with other sprockets?
